Introduction to Cyber Insurance
In today's digital age, cyber risks have become a major concern for businesses of all sizes. Cyber risks are vulnerabilities or threats that can lead to financial, reputational, or operational harm. These risks can come from a variety of sources including hackers, malware, phishing attacks, and employee errors. Cyber risks can affect any aspect of a business, including its intellectual property, customer data, financial information, and operations.
For example, a phishing attack can trick an employee into clicking on a malicious link, which can then infect the company's network with malware, resulting in the loss of sensitive data or the disruption of operations. A hacker can also gain unauthorized access to a company's network and steal confidential customer or financial data, leading to financial losses, regulatory fines, and reputational damage.
Understanding cyber risks is crucial for businesses to take proactive measures to prevent and mitigate the impact of cyber incidents. This is where cyber insurance comes in to play, as it provides financial protection and support to businesses in the event of a cyber incident.
